Every time I see one I can't help but think 'why'?

Maybe it's just me, but they've never done it for me. The interiors were absolutely awful, they were the epitomy of bodywork-extravaganza and, well, I think the world was done a favour when emission regulations sent them to their graves.

You have to get into the context of this - the car was a product of the mid 80's - 20 YEARS AGO.....

Get your head around that and you will just come to realise what a truly great car it was, when you watched a cossie and an Intergrale head to head, you were in heaven - 2 of the best road cars around at the time.

Looking at it now through new millenium glasses the car may seem to some to be a bit dated, well christalmighty it is dated.....

But get an unmolested factory one without any of the Max Power add on's and you will be owning a true classic of the future.

Imagine what people will be saying about the 6 series in 17 years time.

Horses for course's (as they say).

Yes Pete...but I'm well aware of when it was produced and was driving around at the time myself...

See, I love the Integrale. It's stunning, in form and function. The Cosworth just took the form ridiculously Chavastic in my opinion. The Integrale was angular, purposeful, boxy and mean - all which I find don't apply to the Cosworth.

As for what people say about a 6 series, well they say it now! Love em or hate - it's a car that divides opinion for sure!

It's true alright.

We're all so used to 155mph limiters these days that it's easy to forget the standard Escort Cosworth is rather average by comparison to a fast hot hatch these days.
